In some of the Caribbean Islands, Carnival coincides with Lent, but the celebration of carnival in St.Kitts is unique. It's the only Carnival in the Caribbean that blends the spirit of Christmas with the colorful display of the nation's culture and African heritage.

For the past thirty-seven (37) years, thousands of nationals and visitors alike have come to St. Kitts, to enjoy the holidays and Carnival.

Organizers of the annual event have found that combining the two festitvities has been economically beneficial, and has resulted in a huge influx of cruise passengers and other tourists in December.
